Barley Orecchiette

Orecchiette with burnt wheat is a particular variant of the traditional Apulian pasta. Grano arso, which means "burnt wheat", has humble origins and dates back to times when farmers collected the wheat grains left in the fields after burning the stubble. This grain, once ground, gives the pasta a dark color and a characteristic toasted, slightly smoky flavour. Orecchiette with burnt wheat goes perfectly with robust sauces, often based on vegetables such as turnip greens, or with simple but tasty condiments, such as olive oil, garlic and chilli pepper, thus enhancing their unique and ancient flavour.

Tria is an ancient Puglian pasta, extruded through bronze dies. It derives from the Arabic "Ytria" and pairs perfectly with chickpeas. Ciceri e Tria is a beloved traditional recipe in Puglia. This dish, also prepared with canned chickpeas, is nutritious and simple to make. Pasta e ceci alla leccese and Pasta e ceci alla pugliese are popular variations. Tria di grano represents a culinary heritage of the region, keeping ancient traditions and flavors alive.

Orecchiette are a symbol of Puglian cuisine, made with durum wheat semolina and water. Their rough surface perfectly holds sauces, making them ideal for dishes like "orecchiette with turnip tops". The artisanal preparation requires manual skill, reflecting the authenticity of Puglian tradition. Try them with meat sauces or simply with vegetables. Orecchiette represent the essence of Puglian culinary tradition.

Olive Leaf Pasta is a Puglian specialty recognizable by its unique shape resembling olive leaves. Its rough surface captures sauces exceptionally well, ensuring that every recipe is a burst of flavors. Perfect with simple or elaborate sauces, such as fresh tomato or seafood, the olive leaf offers culinary versatility, making every dish special.

The sagne ncannulate are a traditional Salento pasta, hand-twisted and ideal with robust sauces like meat ragù or fresh tomato sauce. The sagne salentine are made with simple, genuine ingredients, representing a symbol of the region's traditional cuisine. Variants include the whole grain sagne, rich in fiber. Preparing the sagne ncannulate requires time and patience, but the result is a dish that celebrates the authentic flavors of Salento.

Maritati are a perfect combination of orecchiette and maccheroni, typical of Puglia. Ideal with red meat sauces and pecorino cheese or tomato sauce and cacioricotta. This maritati pasta is a symbol of Puglian tradition, made from high-quality semolina wheat. Puglian maritati recipes include variants with sausage and turnip greens, offering a unique and authentic culinary experience.

Maritati di orzo combine orecchiette and maccheroni, two traditional Puglian pasta shapes. Barley pasta is rich in minerals, vitamins, and fiber. Ideal with red meat sauces and cheeses like pecorino and cacioricotta. Barley flour was historically used in Salento for its affordability compared to wheat flour. The low gluten content makes barley pasta a healthy and nutritious choice.

Orecchiette made from durum wheat semolina are one of the typical products that in some way represent and symbolize Puglia throughout the world. We like them very much, both with turnip tops and with tomato, perhaps with a pinch of strong ricotta in the sauce, or chilli pepper, or with a nice meat-based sauce or ragù.
